WHEAT AND FLOUR
:» ■ ■ ACTIVITY OF THE GOVERNMENT. "I am practically acting as a whol«r Bale dealer in flour and wheat now," said the Prime Minister yesterday. "To. day we have arranged to supply wheat t) three important towns in New Zealand. As you see by a cablegram today, the Australian Government has agreed to lend us wheat to be repaid when our shipments from Canada come to hand. Wo asked them for 30,030 sacks. I had had no official • reply to my request, but I take it that they are t) let us have it. The fact is that our available wheat supply, is rapidly becoming exhausted, and there has been delay m shipping our whoat from Canada owing to the scarcity of bottoms. This loan from Australia will tide us over until the Canadian wheat arrives. Alogether we have about 400,000- bushels coming from Canada."
